just got a 8tb hard drive AMA

How much cache does it have

>Seagate

Why bother with 8TB? It'll fail before you even get nearly that much data on it

For what purpose?

memes

>Falling for the meme meme
It is the current meme year. I sure hope meme you guys do not meme do this meme.

failrate?

100%

>i cant find the statistics so i'll spout a meme
fucking normies

>he thinks some hard drives last forever

do you not know how to delete things?

i've literally never had a hard drive fail EVER
the fuck do you cunts do to your hard drives, to make even the best brands kark it?

I've had a seagate for 8 years now, constantly using it, it never failed, still works perfectly today.

What does this even mean? All HDDs fail in 5-10 years unless they don't get used.

>8 years
how big is it?

you could have got 2x250SSDs

It is guaranteed that every hard drive will fail, in time.

Seagate gets a bad rep on Sup Forums because Sup Forums exaggerates differences in quality, and we have the inapplicable-but-still-used-as-a-source Backblaze study to fuel Seagate-gate.

1TB,but trust me, its been filled and emptied more than i can count.

the most based tripfag on this board, telling it like it is.

it's good to see your posts here

(you)

I don't even have much experience but I've already had two hard drives fail, one WD and one Seagate

i've had both and neither failed
explain yourself

>SMR drives

Fine for a dump of video and backup files, absolutely useless for anything that makes random writes

do you have backup?

for my movies and shows, yes.
>i have lots

Is it an SMR drive? If so, I hope you aren't planning on using it for anything other than write-once backup

>smr

i'm thinking about getting one of these for my security camera system. should be able to hold 2 months of footage from 8 720p 30fps cameras running 24/7

kek

I think i'll get WD Blue 6tb tomorrow.
should I?
anyone had any experience with these drives?

do it black are the best

An AMA? Because you bought an 8TB hard drive?
You're not that special.

He's your typical consumerist seeking validation.

I download all my movies and series in full Bluray ISO

Why didn't you buy the 16TB Samsung SSD instead?

do you another 8tb drive to back it up?

because it's going to fail in 5 or 6 years just like all drives do.
